The 0. R. & N. Fails.
W. O CowkIII Fail! to MalcoOuod
In Hid Work For Thut
OomDany.
No in I nuiing,' wan taken of the
first opHirtunily the ieiplo of Ore
gon hail lo exercisa tliu referen
iliim power. When tlio office of
the Secretary of Slato clow d at fi
o'clock tliii eveniiiK, politions with
itWKI Hignatiir had been filed de
manding the referendum nn the
Lewis and Clark Fair bill, but as
f.'IKl! are required, the petitions are
ineffective. W. C. Cowgill, who
ban been circulating petitions for
the, referendum on the portage rail
way bill, the corporation tax bill
and the tax exemption reeiil, said
this cvMiiing that in' had eccured
but 4000 signatures on tlio first,
Xl'tt on the second ond ISOOon
the third. As it would be useless
to file his ntitions unless be bad
(lie full number, he did not file
tliem at all.
There were probably jietitions
enough outstanding to make up
j the reiiiired numlicr of signatures
on the portage railway bill, but
j tbey had not been forwarded here,
: and were, of course, of no use. It
I is also understood that several
! hundred more signatures had been
secured on the Lewis and Clark
bill petitions, hut these were not
filed.
There is a great feeling of relief in
Salem tonight over the outcome of
the effort to invoke the refcrsndum
on these measures. The portpie of
this part of the stale are pretty
generally in fivvoc of holtlg the
Fair. Some who were opposed to
the project at first think it would
not do for the state to give up after
going so far. Many who signed
the petitions for the referendum
would have voted favorably, but
signed the petitions because they
thought it proper that the people
have nn opportunity to vote on the
question.
There is an overwhelming senti
ment in favor of the corporation
license lax law, and, though the
Valley is not directly interested in
the portage railroad, tho people
here believe that the state should
give this aid to the commercial de
velopment of Eastern Oregon.
As times are good, there is not
the opposition lo the repeal of the
tax exemption law that the
would be otherwise, though it is
certain that there will be a de
mand for the re-enactment of some
sort of exemption law at the next
session.
There would have been great
disappointment if the referendum
had been ordered upon any one of
the three most important measures
under consideration, and there is
an eipial degree of gratification
over the failure of the referendum
movements.
Since the referendum movements
have not succeeded, there seems to
lie no present iroxvt that the
legal questions involved in the ex
ercise of the referendum power will
be presented before the courtst for
at least two years. Some question
might arise, however, concerning
the time a law bearing an emer
gency clause goes into effect, which
would involve the legality of the
adoption of the referendum amend
ment. The experience of the last two
month have been enough to dem
onstrate that the referendum is a
ready tool for the use of any per
sons who may have a grievance to
avenge era personal interest to
subserve. There is no room for
doubt that the mining corporations
could have- held up the corpora
tion tax hill for a year, and that
the railroad interests could have
held up the portage railway bill.
The failure to demand the refer
endum on the tax emption repeal
bill shows that tho referendum is
not likely to be exercised where
the masses of the people are inter
ested, but it is plainly in the power

A little book that will attract
wide attention and excite much
controversy is R. T. Crane's work,
"The Utility of an Academic or
Classical Kiluration for Youngl
Men Who Have to Earn Their
Own Living, and Who Expect to
Pursue a Commercial Life." The
author contends that for such
young men the years covered by a
college course are, worse than use
less. He starts the book with a
quotation from Herbeit 8iencer,
discrediting the value of a classical
education.
"The . remark is trite," says
?pencer, "that in his shop, or his
oflice, in managing his estate or
his family, in playing his part as
director of a bank or a railway,
the college graduate is little aided
by this knowledge be took so muny
years to acquire so little that
generally the greater part of it
drops out of his memory.
"If we inquire what is the real
motive for giving boys a classical
education, we find it to be simply
conformity to public opinion.
Men dress their children's minds
as they do their bodies, in the pre
vailing fashion. And this being
our dominant idea, direct utility
is scarcely more regarded than by
the barbarian when filing his teeth
and staining his finger nails."
Andrew Carnegie is quoted to
the same end. ."In my own ex-
experience, says the noted phil
anthropist, "I can tay that I have
known few young men intended
for business who were not injured
by a collegiate education. Had
they gone into active work during
the years spent at college, they
would hawbrea better educated
men in every true sense of the
word. The almost total absence
of the graduate from high positions
in the business world would seem
lo justify the conclusion that coll-
edge education, as it exists, seems
almost fatal to success in that do
main."

Why not use the same business
judgment in the purchase of a
piano that you employ in buying
an ordinary article.
There should be no mystery
about piano buying or piano sell
ing.
The retailing price of a piano
consists of its cost to build plus
the cost of selling it to the retail
dealer.
By cost of selling it is meant the
expense of maintaining a store,
freight, drayage, advertising, salar
ies and commissions to salesmen,
teachers, etc.
This being the case, it is evident
that one store may be in a position
to name lower retail price on the
same instruments than can others.
A little dealer, who sells but
four or five pianos a month, can
not reduce the cost of selling much
below $125 to 1150 on each piano.
Nor can he biiy his pianos at a
close price from the makers.
The average large dealer does
not sell to exceed 25 or 30 pianos
a month. And if his totijj ex
pense each month is, say $3000,
then it follows that his average
cost of selling a single piano, is al
so from 100 to $120.
Now comes the New Method
Store. Instead of selling a limit
ed number at the old time high
prices, Filers Piano House is
organized to sell 150, yes 200 pi
anos each moot. That means a
selling cost from 115 to 120 a
liiano. A direct saving to the re
tail huver of a clean $100 to 1120
on this item alone.
There are dozens of other ail
vantages possessed by the Eilers
Piano House, rlease call or write
and let us tell you about them.
Hear this in mind. We're not
selling cheap pianos, but we're sell
ing pianos cheaper. And remera

bag with boiling water and then he

Then, after he had warmed the
teak, he cut it all up with a pair

a pair of sugar tonge because he
would not take a chance with a fork

finish was a limit. After he had
eaten the steak he unscrewed the
stopper of the water bag and injured
himself out a cup of hot coffee.
He had the grounds in the bag all

The Cieneral Land Oflice has re
ceived' the amended map filed by
the Oregon Development Company ,
showing lands on the Upper Des
chutes River in Eastern Orosron,
which it proposes to reclaim under
the Carey act. On this map, the
company has eliminated ne.tily
15,000 acres that were included in
the original selection, this action
being taken because of the leport of
Special Agent (irecn, that much of
the original selection was land
covereu witn merchantable timber.
Commissioner Richards, after
hearing the company's statement
presented by C. W. hlhm.io, was
not satisfied, in view of InsTtor
Green's report that all of the land
covered by the a mended imp was
properly classed as arid. He fears
some considerable pirtion may U'
pine lands. He has accordingly
given the company 90 days in
which to make a detailed showing
as to tho character of each section
embraced in their selection, and to
establish its character by proof.
When this information Is avail
aide, the matter will be taken up,
and in all probability the truly
arid sections will be segregated
under the Carey act.
